Massive study of 7,070 premature babies aims to halt blindness

NCT ID NCT07312669

Summary

This study observed over 7,000 premature infants to understand which babies are most at risk for a serious eye disease called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), which can cause blindness. Researchers collected data from hospital eye exams and treatments to analyze risk factors like birth weight and gestational age. The goal was to use this information to review and improve the national guidelines that help doctors protect these infants' vision.
